** In order to not look ''completely'' crazy she claimed to have only implanted 6 left-over embryos (of which 2 then split into twins) because she didn't want any of her babies to die. She was [[BlatantLies lying]] on both fronts: the doctor implanted 12 embryos. And she insisted on fresh embryos for each of her IVF-cycles, so there are still some of her embryos left in the freezer.

* Then there's Nadya Suleman, the "Octomom," so called because of a dead-straight example of the "in vitro GoneHorriblyRight" version resulting in the second set of surviving octuplets in US history (and first set where all members survived longer than even a week.) Normally that many are ''not'' implanted, but she has said that the alternative was that the unused embryos would be destroyed. This adds to the six kids she had ''already,'' those ''not'' at once.

* One of ''Daria'' BigNameFan Roger E. "The Angst Guy" Moore's works, ''Quinnts'', splits the title character's sister, Quinn, into a set of, appropriately enough, quints, who each embody an aspect of the canon Quinn's personality (bossy, hedonistic, rambunctious, psuedo-intellectual and attention-seeking, respectively). Predictably, their version of Daria is a complete emotional wreck.
